Brock and Salk

Devon Witherspoon’s play has really impressed Brock and reminds him of what a young Earl Thomas brought to a defense that needed some power, speed, and swag. Brock & Salk share a full slate of Seahawks Takeaways.

Salk is trying to determine what he learned about the Seahawks in that game because they played physically for the second week in a row & got better and stronger throughout the game. Conversation turns to the M's as Salk asks Brock if the Texas Rangers are a superior team which leads to an old-fashioned argument before Blue 88.

Ugly weekend for the Mariners as they're swept by the Rangers but at least the Astros matched that by getting swept in Houston by KC. The Seahawks beat Carolina at home with a banged up OL and get good news that Jamal Adams & Charles Cross could be back next week vs NYG. We open the phones to ask Seattle Sports fans “What did you learn about the Seahawks this week?”

Salk says he was confident in this team even when they were struggling but has to admit getting a little nervous over the last couple of weeks. This team isn't hot right now but neither are the Astros and Rangers. The M's are perfectly capable of winning this division. Then, we take your calls and Justin and Salk have an end of the week themed Ranked for you.

Brock & Salk continue the conversation about who matches up best and which bats deserve more attention in the lineup - specifically how do you manage Ty France? M's insider Shannon Drayer joins the show from Texas to share who she feels most confident in, status of the bullpen and much more. 

The conversation surrounding the next 10 games of the Mariners regular season is turning into how these matchups will favor the M's and what Brock & Salk want to see vs. what they need to see in Texas, before Brock's Blue 88. 

It all starts today as the Mariners face off vs. the Texas Rangers for their last road trip of the regular season and the anxiety will be at an all-time high. Brock & Salk share more Seahawks injuries before playing a round of 'Buy or Sell' and discussing the massive impact of Bobby Wagner through two weeks. 

Brock & Salk debate the idea of what to do with a cold bat in Ty France in favor of what you might get from Canzone, but who plays first base? And is it worth risking the INF defense? Another episode of The Jerry Dipoto Show to set the stage for the most exciting end to a Mariners regular season... ever. 

What record do the Mariners need to finish with in order to secure a playoff spot? Is 6-4 good enough, and if so - which wins mean more than others? Ian Eagle (CBS) is on Sunday's broadcast for the Seahawks and joins Brock & Salk for a game preview and laughs before Brock's Blue 88. 

Brock and Salk discuss the options the Mariners would have available to them for their playoff bullpen if they hadn't suffered so many injuries to the starting rotation. Then, Salk explains why Bobby Wagner's return has been an unmitigated success and Justin and Salk have another edition of Ranked for you.
